At last the examiner asked her, Can you come to the office next Monday? Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl couldnt make a decision at the moment, so she said, I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer. The examiner felt surprised but said calmly, If so, let s wait till you are ready. The next day, the girl came to tell the examiner that her parents had agreed to let her begin work next Monday.

Answer the Examiners Question Quickly (C) The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture， and this is shown in its traditional dress You often find three colours red， gold and green in the clothing The first colour stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves； the second is for the rich resources(资源 )of the African earth； and the third represents the grasslands of home Because clothing has a strong social meaning， people are very careful in choosing what to wear It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing， or to wear clothes in the wrong way， For example， in Ghana a woman should wear her waistband differently according to the importance of the social event Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life African designs are famous for loose clothing The climate， with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(变化 )， requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life Though many people wear Western clothes， particularly in the big cities in Africa， traditional African dress is very highly valued This is because it has deep cultural meanings 75. The passage is mainly about_ A. the history of clothes in Africa B. modern fashion styles in Africa C. the culture of traditional dress in Africa D. the materials of traditional dress in Africa 76. According to the passage， red_ A. represents the setting sun B. stands for the African earth C. is chosen because it is a bright colour D. is a reminder of the sad history in Africa 77. Traditional dress should also be practical because_ A. it needs to keep people dry in the rainy season B. it needs to protect people from the climate C. people wear it in the big cities D. it has deep cultural meanings (D) When we talk about intelligence， we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving， especially in a new situation If we want to test intelligence， we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do For example， when in a new situation， an intelligent person thinks about the situation， not about himself or what might happen to him He tries to find out all he can， and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it He probably isn t sure how it will all work out， but at least he tries And if he cannot make things work out right， he doesn t feel ashamed that he failed， he just tries to learn from his mistakes An intelligent person， even if he is very young， has a special outlook on life， a special feeling about life， and how he fits into it If you look at children， you ll see great difference between what we call“ bright” children and“ non-bright” children They are actually two different kinds of people， not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world： he seems to have a wall between him and life in general 78. According to this passage， intelligence is the ability to_ A. get some high scores on some tests B. do well in school C. deal with life D. have a lot of book knowledge 79. In a new situation， an intelligent person_ A. knows more about what might happen to him B. is sure of the result he will get C. cares more about himself D. keeps his mind on what to do about the situation 80. If an intelligent person failed， he would_ A. try not to feel ashamed B. learn from his mistakes C. try to find all he could D. make sure what result he would get 81. Bright children and non-bright children_ A. are two different types of children B. are different mainly in their degree of cleverness C. have difference only in their way of thinking D. have different knowledge about the world (E) When you cough or sneeze, you d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “ Excuse me.” This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs along to everything and everyone they touch. If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through. After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize hot to be polite and thank others. Once they ve been told, they re halfway there. When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter. After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter. 82. When you cough or sneeze, you should _. A. touch everything B. cover your mouth C. point out to the kids D. pass the germs to others 83. If you come to a door and someone is following you, you d better _. A. hold the door B. pass through C. close the door D. stand to the side 84. From the passage we ca know the writer is a _. A. doctor B. traveler C. parent D. teacher 85. The passage is mainly about _. A. the rules of behavior in public B. the easy of communication C. the acts of kindness among people D. the knowledge of social life 第 II 卷 （非选择题；共 40 分） 五、写作部分 （共 三 节；满分 40 分） 第一节：用所给单词的适当形式填空：（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 1.
